a few hints for you - when doing the objective
Subject: a few hints for you - when doing the objective

findings, when doc says, for instance, "In general, the patient is..." you are putting that under the "general" subheading, so you don't need to repeat the "in general" part - meaning it would just be GENERAL:  The patient is....


same with the skin exam that you have there - if doc is saying "skin is warm and dry," and you are putting it under the "skin" subheading, it should just be "SKIN:  Warm and dry" ...and so on.


also, in the HEENT section, it should be "sclerae" and "conjunctivae" - doc is referring to the plural form here.


Does that make sense?  This is the way it's usually done, but you'll need to follow the instructions you've been given, of course.

Subject: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan=SOAP..

Twenty-five years ago, SOAP format was still the in-thing, but doctors slowly trended away from it, probably due to medical transcription and formats changing over time.  They are easy to do though.

No time limits (usually) on transcription portion
Subject: No time limits (usually) on transcription portion

As far as posting test questions and waiting around for the answers, I would assume these questions were being asked about the transcription portion of the exam. Mind you, not all companies set a time limit for returning the transcription testing files to them. Tests I have taken in the past have been tough ones, as many as 4 parts, with testing time spanning a few days while waiting for the recruiter to grade each section.
*English grammar/punctuation skills. Pass this, you move on to the next.
*Medical terminology skills/medication uses/disease processes, etc. Pass this, advance again to the next.
*Transcription skills demonstrating all of the above plus your ear-ability. Pass this, whew...almost done with this testing stuff! On to the last step.
*Oral exam. Pass this, get an offer (hopefully for a lot more than 7 cpl considering ALL the testing you just passed). lol

Not all companies perform this kind of in-depth testing, but I think the ones that do are more interested in hiring an MT who will be able to taken off full QA within a day or two of being hired, as opposed to an MT that is not as familiar/experienced with this employ.
